I am pleased to announce our 3rd installment of unveiling the first Core set-now with the fiery punch of Gowen. This sphere is best known for it's tough, stand-alone fighters that excel in combat on the field. Gowen is also the only sphere with the 'rank up' mechanic, granting Iczers the ability to power up their units to above average power points. The name of the game for Gowen is damage, and they supply plenty of it. They do support one another, but their support is far inferior to the likes of Refess and are limited in utility. For what they lack in control, they make up for in cost effective damage and distributions of damage that is almost exclusive to Gowen. Healing and support is limited in Gowen, but certain key cards (such as Forest of Hate) do provide the crucial support needed to keep the pain train going.

This week's featured 3 star is [b]Gun God / Ben MacLachlan[/b]. This gunslinger from the underworld is a tough nut to crack; with some support, Ben can provide a tricky opponent to overcome. His skills and stats allow him to sustain high amounts of punishment while providing enormous threat from his auto skill. While it may be tricky to trigger his counter without some help from your opponent, there are some methods to do this with Gowen cards (such as Salamander!) in order to force your opponent to engage Ben or be pummeled with bullets. We feel Ben, while having the potential for massive amounts of damage, is a fair card that engages both players when he's on the field-making him an excellent choice to include in the Core set. You can engage Ben, Debuff his AT to 0, or just even run him over with even more damage to make sure he doesn't get his turn at AGI 2! Without further ado, I would like to announce the common cards that are currently planned for the first Core installment!
